Batman: Arkham Origins Shows Everything Wrong With DLC

Hardcore Gamer: Downloadable content (DLC) was a godsend to squander our adolescent troubles. It was a way to give gamers more of their favorite games. But DLC has had its ups and downs since its rise in the 2000’s. It’s offered us more, but has also shown us our own negatives to our gaming wants. Be careful what you wish for, because DLC’s most malicious demons are now out and about, ruining games and giving a number of companies the opportunity to cut corners without any real cost to show for it.

And everything wrong with video games in general.

Yi-Long4485d ago

Yep.

TBH though, we already saw this happening with Arkham City, so I knew this would be happening and so I voted with my wallet and decided not to buy Origins, even though I loved the first 2 games and I AM interested in playing Origins.

These greedy developers/publishers don't deserve my money. Once they release a GOTY, (aka a 'complete' release) that I can pick up from a bargain bin, I'll reconsider.

Baccra174485d ago

In all honesty try to rent or borrow it. It's not that hard to beat it quick.

Yi-Long4485d ago

Nah, like I said, I'll wait for a cheap GOTY-edition. I don't know anyone I can borrow it from, and I never rent games.

I kinda expect a 'complete' next-gen version to be announced, like they did with Tomb Raider.

maniacmayhem4485d ago

I played this game and I was really unimpressed. The whole game just felt like extra DLC. There was nothing new to the game that AC didn't already bring. It's time to give this series a little break.

Deku-Johnny4485d ago

I remember there was a part in the game with a container for Queen Industries, they should give Bats a break and bring out an Arrow game, the show is one of the best on TV right now so it's the perfect time.

HaHa_Ostrich4485d ago

I really enjoyed Origins. It was much darker, almost noir, much less neon colors. I liked it a lot. Also, what is so broken about it? I played through it without a single issue or glitch.

Thatlalala4485d ago

WB man such a joke. Some of my favorite games that simply don't work or were released and left in an unplayable state. Guardians of middle Earth, Gotham city imposters (both developed by monolith, but that's a whole nother story, short version they suck) DCUO, and now this. Such a joke.

KidBroSweets24485d ago

Gotham city impostors is a great game. So much fun with friends. The servers were always a bit laggy though but I did convince 5 or 6 friends to buy it instead of everyone just being annoyed of getting "noob tubed" on cod.

The getaway
Smugglers run
Dead to rights
Worlds scariest police chases
Sure I’m missing a few.

FPS_D3TH468d ago

Mannn… worlds scaries police chases… that took me back lol

Knushwood Butt469d ago

Ape Escape.
Fun game but, wow, you need a college degree to understand the controls.
A remaster would also save you from having to constantly fight the camera.
Keep the music though. Those drum and bass tracks fit really well and haven't aged. Made me think that more games could work well with drum and bass tracks, but unfortunately it's a somewhat niche genre now.

Abear21469d ago

Max Payne Series
Infamous 1 & 2
NBA Street Vol 2
SSX
Skate

M_Prime468d ago

i could have sworn i read somewhere that Remedy is remaking May Payne 1 but things have been quiet lately

YourMommySpoils468d ago

They are making the first one, as we speak.

jznrpg469d ago (Edited 469d ago )

One of the few Xbox games I own. I have 3 copies of it because of the many discs it has, for just in case reasons

jznrpg469d ago (Edited 469d ago )

Xenogears, Xenosaga trilogy, Vagrant Story, Drakengards, Parasite Eve and many more but I’ll start with those

The best Batman Arkham game still isn’t on PS5, and that’s a problem

Suicide Squad Kill the Justice League is almost here, but I can't revisit the best Arkhamverse game on PS5 without sacrificing quality.

Not a fan of Orgins. Blame it on the absence of Conroy & Hamill. Blame it on the lack of atmosphere compared to Asylm. Hell blame it the devs thst dicked over Wii U owners like me that purchased the game only for support be dropped as a thank you to me. It's better than Knight but that's not saying much. I don't care for that entry either.

Rebel_Scum861d ago

tbh buying a game like that for WiiU should’ve been an obvious non-purchase when it existed on better hardware.

Cacabunga861d ago

Origins is amazing..
my favorite Batman is Batman and Robin on mega drive.. an HD REMASTER of that would still look glorious

ZeekQuattro861d ago

I got it launch. Kinda hard to go back. I'm supposed to know they were going to drop support months after the fact. 🤣

Exvalos861d ago

You sound like a salty fanboy, that it didn't come to your precious plastic of choice. It's not the developers fault Nintendo continues making underpowered hardware. It's our fault because we keep buying it. Yes I say (we) I'm part of the problem as well.

ZeekQuattro861d ago

I have a PS3 and a Wii U. How was I a salty fanboy? I bought the game on the system I wanted it for.

Rebel_Scum861d ago

Nah my comment has nothing to do with whether you’d know or not that they’d drop support.

Buying any AAA game of that era for a WiiU you should’ve known you’d be sacrificing graphics and load times.

LucasRuinedChildhood862d ago

It's solid but Origins is definitely not the best Arkham game.

LoveSpuds861d ago

Smacks of hyperbole to me, talk about clutching at straws to create some drama around PS5!!

generic-user-name861d ago

Titles like these are designed to get you to come in, go to their comment section and tell them how they're so wrong so they can boost their numbers.

Phoenix76861d ago

Even though its not the best arkham game in the series, its still an enjoyable game in its own right. What it do really well at though, was the crime investigations scenes. Which imo, were the best of the franchise.

goldwyncq861d ago

I don’t know about best game but it definitely has the best story and boss fights.

boing1861d ago

Never played it and recently I've finally tried it via cloud on psn. It's not the best for sure, but it ain't bad either.
